Have you tried the same size 35t pulleys on yours yet?

They do get looser for sure after a few runs, only a little and I'm not certain you need to tighten them - at least not on the big pulley stuff. I don't remember about the smaller stuff.
I've run the equal pulleys yeah - I actually raced at the Euros last year with 35t black pulleys front and rear. The car is surprisingly more stable and easy to drive on loose surfaces with the un-equal overdrive setup tho. On high grip you might not notice any difference between the two.
